Well, it recently came out in an audit here in Australia that our Federal Police keep 90% of their records on shared drives with no proper access control or anti-tamper protection [1]… So even worse situations are not unheard of…

Unfortunately seems to align with my anecdotal/limited conversations with law enforcement in the US. Thank you for providing this - with my new startup Tovera [0] I'm pursuing potential law enforcement use cases and it's good to see that some countries/jurisdictions have already raised the issue.

Thanks again!
